AmAsusAm
Take me away from the city
FGAm
Lead me to where I can be on my own
AmAsusAm
I wanted to see you but now that I have
FGAm
I just want to be left alone
GC
I'll always remember your kind words
Dm7E (E7)
And I'll still remember your name
AmF
But I've seen you changing and turning
GAm
And I know that things won't be the same
Pre Chorus GFCGCGAm
I remember that summer in Dublin
FC
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell
DmAm7
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
DmG
And everyone looking so well
CGAm
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
FC
Called rock and roll never forgets
DmAm7
When my humming was smothered by the 46A
DmG
And the scream of the low flying jets
CGAm
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
FC
Stopping off to pick up my guitar
DmAm7
When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
FGAm
I was glad we weren't going to far
AmAsusAm
So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning
FGAm
Trying to find a place where I can hear
AmAsusAm
The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks
FGAm
And the open road is always near
GC
And if sometimes I tire of the quiet
Dm7E (E7)
And I want to walk back up that hill
AmF
I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb
GAm
Cause I know for sure you'll be there still

How I play it, though neither are in the same key as the recorded version
